Today's song / Morning Has Broken

This is the song playing in my head and heart on this most perfect of mornings. Beautiful sunshine, temperature in the low 70s, and the lovely new green color coming on the trees and plants and lawns. The air is full of birdsong. The bubbly voices of the swallows, the incredibly lovely music the plain brown song sparrow sings, the spring song of the chickadee. "God's re-creation" indeed.

I have to echo the others. It's a favorite of mine also. One of the memories I have associated with this song is the first Easter we lived in our neighborhood. There are several churches within walking distance and when one of them had sunrise services on their lawn, the pastor sang this song during the service with a fully opened microphone. It rang out loud and clear on the crisp morning air. It was a lovely serenade that woke us that day.
